Just goto conf folder of tomcat

open the server.xml file

Goto one of the connector node which look like the following

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
           connectionTimeout="20000" 
           redirectPort="8443" />

Simply change the port

save and restart tomcat

On modern linux the best approach  for me  is to use xinetd    1  create  etc xinet d tomcat-http  service http           disable   no         socket type   stream         user   root         wait   no         redirect   127 0 0 1 8080     2  create  etc xinet d tomcat-https  service https           disable   no         socket type   stream         user   root         wait   no         redirect   127 0 0 1 8443     3  chkconfig xinetd on  4   etc init d xinetd start

As previous answers didn t work well  it was good  but not enough  for me on a 14 04 Ubuntu Server  I mention these recommendations  this is a quote     Edit  note that as  jason-faust mentioned it in the comments  on 14 04  the authbind package that ships with it does support IPv6 now  so the prefer IPv4 thing isn t needed any longer    1  Install authbind 2  Make port 80 available to authbind  you need to be root      touch  etc authbind byport 80   chmod 500  etc authbind byport 80   chown tomcat7  etc authbind byport 80  3  Make IPv4 the default  authbind does not currently support IPv6      To do so  create the file TOMCAT bin setenv sh with the following content       CATALINA OPTS  -Djava net preferIPv4Stack true   4  Change  usr share tomcat7 bin startup sh    exec authbind --deep   PRGDIR    EXECUTABLE  start          OLD  exec   PRGDIR    EXECUTABLE  start        If you already got a setenv sh file  in  usr share tomcat7 bin with CATALINA OPTS  you have to use    export CATALINA OPTS   CATALINA OPTS -Djava net preferIPv4Stack true    Now you can change the port to 80 as told in other answers

On Ubuntu and Debian systems  there are several steps needed    In server xml  change the line  lt Connector connectionTimeout  20000  port  8080  protocol  HTTP 1 1  redirectPort  8443   gt  to have port  80   Install the recommended  not required  authbind package  with a command like   sudo apt-get install authbind Enable authbind in the server xml file  in either  etc tomcat6 or  etc tomcat7  by uncommenting and setting the line like   AUTHBIND yes   All three steps are needed

On a Linux Debian-based  so Ubuntu included  you have also to go to  etc default tomcat7  uncomment the  AUTHBIND no line and set its value to  yes   in order to let the server bind on a privileged port
